Searchable Intel ISEF Finalist Abstracts (2003 - Present) This searchable database of abstracts provides a powerful resource to help with project ideas and as perhaps a first step in a literature search. Abstracts are searchable by key word, discipline, finalist name, fair id, state or country.

Science Buddies

Science Buddies is a non-profit organization encouraging students to "improve their science skills" and "consider additional study or careers in science." It's also my pickof-the-day site because of the Topic Selection Wizard, and the general excellence of all the guidance provided. Choosing a topic is often the most agonizing part of starting a science fair project. Use the wizard to guide you toward a topic that interests you. Be warned, however, you'll have to answer a lot of questions to work your way through the wizard. Other great clicks are the list of bad science fair topics in the "How To" section, and the "Ask an Expert" online forum.

Science Fair Central

Although there's lots of fun science stuff to peruse here, you'll find the meat of the matter in the Soup to Nuts Handbook written by Janice Van Cleve, author of more than forty books on science and science fairs. "A science project is like a mystery in which you are the detective searching for answers. Science projects let you practice and exhibit your detective skills. You not only get to select which mystery to solve, but you can creatively design methods for uncovering clues that will lead to the final revelation of who, what, when, where, how, and why." Science Fair Central includes cool project ideas, a science fair handbook, reviews of students' experiments, and more from Discovery Channel School. Full Review ?

All Science Fair Projects

From astronomy to zoology, All Science Fair Projects is a searchable database of 500 science fair ideas for all levels (elementary, middle and high school.) You can search by keyword (such as "bacteria" or "sun spots.") Or browse by topic (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science and engineering.) Each individual project page then links to an sample project elsewhere on the Web.

What Makes a Good Science Fair Project? "Students are advised that getting the right answer is NOT the purpose of a science fair project. It is the intent of a science fair project that you go through the process of asking questions and performing experiments in an attempt to find answers. Making the attempt without answering the question still satisfies the intent of your discovering knowledge on your own."
